My main concern is the flavors directly goes into the blood stream via lungs. A single flavor is made from 4-8 different chemicals, lets say a liquid is made from 4 different flavors, that makes at least 25 different chemicals which are created for digestive consumption only. When you eat them, they are attacked by acid and enzymes in your digestive system where their potential harmfull dna parts are destroyed before they reach to the blood stream. But when you vape them, you get them directly into your blood stream via your lungs without any acid and enzymes attacks, I've concerns if this un-proper way of consumption may cause damage on liver, kidney or on heart as the chemicals are directly goes into blood without any change.
Now, to me that is the issue with
vaping nobody bring attention by far now. People are focused on particles in steam, PH, acetoin, ap, diacetyl. I think FDA just needs to test the above concern only, that will show everything. If there is no cell change or cell damage in the blood, then there is no need to talk about long term effects as it cannot be without cell damage i believe.
Instead of banning a great product, just get some people who vapes heavily and test their blood every week for a month to watch cell changes, liver and kidney functions thats it ! That may not be the 100% proof for long term effects but surely 95% and enough for not banning.
Lets give an example for V2 and DX series of flavors;
Flavor companies are produced v2 and dx series of flavors just to replace harmfull chemical acetoin which turns into diacetyl in time just for the vape world. They have replaced acetoin with butyric acid to give that creamy, butter taste which does not even close to acetoins perfect creamy taste but its ok for health. However, butyric acid is an irritant to airways and lungs, in this case it must be tested in blood stream to see if it is also irritant to heart vessels which can be considired as a very high risk, since it goes into the blood stream directly even goes to the brain without change. The same goes for
citric acid people use in liquids, it is better to think this way instead of its effects on coil metal.
I dont know why people are not testing those simple things i'm talking about. These are all can be tested easily.
